Rolling last.fm thread 2009 no haters!

nope you cant

i just re-subcribed - £36 for 12 months...its totally worth it to be able to see who visited your profile recently. hmm, probably should use their radio again.

Obviously everyone in my line up would be of the age that they were when my chosen artist photos were taken. In several cases actually resurrected

I just made a festival and joined the league! I went with acts I've been listening to most the last 3 months or so, pretty mainstream stuff. Some of the people on the lower part of the bill should probably be headlining, but I have no problems with my headliners as is.

Brontosaur is going to win this between Taylor and The Killers.

some people just have to be too competitive ;)

I've still got over 600K to spend. Swapped out Billy Bragg for Studio and dropped Kirsty for L&PT. Originally I had hoped for Johnny Marr to join Kirsty on stage and then for Kirsty to do some backing vocals for the Smiths, but Moz had to be a prick and insult Kirsty backstage. Typical.

x-post

Ha! I actually felt kinda bad about the Killers! But they are my #15 most listened to artist of the last 6 months. Day & Age sounds pretty great a year later. And if Taylor Swift isn't a prototypical ILX pop-favorite then I don't know who is.

Of my top 15 artists from the last 6 months, i only left off Rainer Maria and Elvis Presley. Broken up and dead! I replaced them with Animal Collective and Madonna, which... I guess the Madonna inclusion is a little much. But I just bought Ray of Light last night, its fresh on my mind!

we're over 20 members now. But some posters here haven't joined yet, so please do! http://fantasyfestival.last.fm/preview/leagues/1434/1/ilxor

btw, Keith Hudson is so much more than just 'dub producer'. Ian Curtis was a fan of his work so having Hudson on just before Joy Division makes sense. King Tubby and Martin Hannett get to work the controls all day long.

I was just teasing brontosaur, its not like you were obviously padding your festival. I still need to put mine together, but there's a chance The Killers might end up on mine too. Funnily enough, I was just giving Day & Age a spin yesterday and it was sounding better than I expected it too.

btw, has anyone else had their account suddenly stop scrobbling in the last half hour?

no

hmmm

try restarting your client

That's what I did and it seemed to do the trick.

slight alteration to my festival to include friends who happen to be a+ djs.

I'm @ work so can't really do this right now but, being a hermit, this game reminds me of how there's very few bands/musicians I'd go out of my way to actually go see live.

Here we go Lex

btw is it a 1 day fest with 15 acts? or 3 days with 5 acts each day noted by different colour?

like look at this guys, it actually looks as if it's colour coded.
http://i33.tinypic.com/2nsb807.jpg

i suppose it could be 3 stages

Curtis' is colour coded too it seems
http://i36.tinypic.com/8yx120.jpg

damn, im gonna have to redo mine with proper colours now if its by days. Argh.

lex I'm not being a bitch this is a serious question. what happens at a paris hilton concert

has there ever been one?

i think for her last album, she took the kate bush route and eschewed live performances, apart from at her bday party when, i believe, she demanded an impromptu performance but fell over and threw up before she reached the stage <3

lol

colour coded by days (left to right) with some line up changes (ditched klf, sun ra and moroder for britney, kate and pete & c.l.)

the britney love is right

wont it be 5 acts per day if its 3 days? You've just made me go and start to colour code mine you. Damn you!

oh i see what youve done. That looks great!

mine had 5 different colours...

Yeah I guess you could have 5 acts per day, making three of each colour from the bottom row. But I like the 2 stages I got going on for day 2.

xpost: three of 2 colours and two of 1 colour from the bottom row.

mine's done, colour coded by day and it's in switzerland!

ok i rejigged mine. Was gonna have a whole krautrock day but couldn't bring myself to kick out joy division. Broke my heart leaving out the god machine :(

Still no doubt they will reappear at some point

http://i38.tinypic.com/2akjk0n.jpg

okay would attend that yellow day

yeah, i would do. that's awesome. i seriously thought of just doing an entirely jazz greats line up. but the disco and funk show stopped me.

pfunk... have you got two festivals going on?

yeah 2 accounts

both festivals are awesome btw

I'd definitely pay for Pfunkboy In The Park and get a day ticket for the last day of the other one for the 70s german extravanganza

I couldnt bring myself to leave out Joy Division other wise Tangerine Dream would have been in there.

Okay I'm in it to not win it.

i would go to that - lots of great stuff! nice to see Lisa Lisa in the line up

Yeah, I wonder how old she would be now.
